It's a Wrap: Custom-covered Belts
Learn how to cover a belt and buckle like a professional
by Paddye Mann

Belts continue to be the fashion accessory of choice, and as sewers, we can make our own, in any fabric we like. Trouble is, most sewers struggle with the directions provided in the belt kits sold at Joann's, and the results are messy and scream "homemade." In this short article, tailor Paddye Mann shows how to achieve professional results. She also tells us about the support options and explainshow to cleanly cover a buckle.
